Elderly Care
Reassurance When Arranging Care for an Elderly Parent
Arranging care for an elderly parent can bring plenty of questions, particularly when you want to know they're receiving the right support when you aren't there yourself. One family has been using Bluebird Care Canterbury & Thanet to support their elderly father at home for between one and two years. For them, having caring Care Experts alongside a local team they can contact when needed has provided valuable reassurance.
Having someone to speak to about his care
Good communication can also make a significant difference when someone else is helping to care for your parent.
The family particularly valued knowing they could contact the team directly if they needed to provide additional information about their father's care.
They explained:
There is always somebody available directly on the phone if you need to add any details about the care required, so you never need to worry.
For relatives, having a point of contact means they can remain involved and communicate information about their loved one's care when needed.
Reassurance for the wider family
Home care isn't only about the time a Care Expert spends with the person receiving support.
For this family, knowing that their father has people looking out for him and that they can contact the Canterbury & Thanet team has also helped provide peace of mind.
Their experience shows the importance of combining care in the home with communication between the care team and the person's family.
A service they would recommend
After their experience of arranging ongoing care for their father, the family said:
